Waiting for help desk call back..... - oy
Posted: Oct 30, 2011
One hour so far. Cannot log into Cornerstone. No technician available. Waiting for call back. With any kind of luck they will pay me for waiting all day......
I would encourage everyone to call their local DOL about this issue. When we sit here for 20-30 minutes typing a job and lose it due to no fault of our own, we should be compensated for the time that we sat here. I left a message for my local DOL, hopefully will get a call back, but it seems to me that constitutes not getting paid for hours worked, which is illegal. If anyone else has checked into this, let me know. Thanks! ...
I applied, tested for and passed for the Accentus STARTeam position. I received a call from HR for the first interview and went on to a second interview with who would be my transcrition manager within hours of the first interview. I was on the phone with her for over an hour. She was very excited about my experience and told me I would be a great fit. It was very clear that she thought I would be a valuable addition to her team and the interview went very, very well. &nb ...
Hello!
I was just curious..... when you tested for a company about how long was it until you heard from them? Either by email or by phone?
Please share your experiece. There has got to be someone out there that will share :)
Thanks! ...
I've seen a few posts about this in the past but can't find them now to review. Has anyone ever responded to Nuance's request to come back? If so, what happened? I got a call and wondered if they really need me because I'm good or have had such a mass exodus that if they don't get qualified people to work their accounts they'll be losing them and lots of money too. IMO, serves them right for what they did to those who worked loyally for compa ...
Rosemary called me back just now.
She contacted the Federal Office. The Fed Office is going to contact ALL STATE COORDINATORS to clarify them on this TAA program for MQ employees.
If you can prove with pay stubs that YOUR PAY HAS DECREASED with MQ during all the changes going on with CBay buying MQ and sending increasing amounts of OUR work to India -- YOU ARE ELIGIBLE EVEN IF YOU ARE STILL WORKING.
I told her I lost about 800 dollars a pay since they eliminated my departmen ...
Its about time!!! Hopefully some MT will follow suit?

I quit Nuance over a year ago and just recently sent computer back (their delay, not mine). I'm supposed to get computer deposit money back but haven't yet. Does anyone know the correct phone number to contact regarding following up on this? Is it Human Resources? Only numbers I have are old TM and HR number from 2011. Thanks. ...
Tomorrow night on ABC news they will be doing a special about call center jobs coming back to America and people making $14 an hour, leaving outsourcing centers because America is 3.5 times more productive. Tonight they did a segment about a light bulb company coming back from China to Detroit because its cheaper now with the Obama cutting corporate taxes for keeping jobs in America and there was a segment about EMR company that was in Bangladore or wherever coming back to America an ...
My random audits have happened the last 3 months between the 10th and 15th of each month. So, now... well, I guess I wait to see where the axe will fall. ...
Has anyone tried a stand-up desk or just tried to stand while typing? With all the stuff in the news lately about how dangerous sitting is, I would like to give it a try. Just wondering if anyone has been doing it and has any tips. It seems like it would be a little hard on the legs when trying to stand and use the footpedal.
I have seen some new treadmill desks that look awesome, but obviously wouldn't work for us using footpedals. ...
I can't figure out how to log into Remedy and my phone reception is so bad they can't understand me when I call for help. Is there an email address I can use? thanks. ...
Hello! I have been an MT for going on 10 years now and have been thinking about a standing desk. However, I have a tendency to stand in a way that I end up hurting the outsides of my feet. I had an idea for a treadmill desk, but I'm stuck on the foot pedal issue and noise level. I did a search and found a post on MTstars by someone who said it wouldn't' work because treadmills are too loud and one wouldn't be able to hear the dictation. My work a ...
Can someone please send me help desk number, my emails and intranet are not taking my passwords, I was hoping maybe i was let go, but I can get into Fluency darn it! I had the number written down, but of course now I cannot find it. Thanks for any help! ...
I need a computer desk for a small space. So the desk must be small, obviously. ;p It won't be for a desktop but for a laptop. I will be putting the laptop on a riser or lifter or stand, whatever its called. You know what I'm talking about. lol. I also will be using an external keyboard with the laptop, so it must have one of those keyboard pullout things.
The most important aspect is that it needs to be an ergonomically correct desk. Any suggestions? Wal-Mart or a ...
I started my computer this morning and only 3 desk top icons came up. The rest were still in my computer but it is like something erased them overnight. I did nothing but shut down computer last night, did not add anything or any programs, nothing unusual. I checked the internet and some people say they had the same problem with Dell and Windows Vista. Any thoughts? Thank you. ...
this is a sweatshop. The way they are monitoring means they expect our hands on our keyboard for the entire 8 hours. Hate this company!!!! Have a couple leads on a new job. Can't wait to be out of here. And they will get NO NOTICE from me since I was never given any notice to all the horrible changes they made for me. ...
So if a team member sees an account is in trouble and going to go out of TAT and calls to get the work they say no, they won't assign it? Gee, what ARE they earning paychecks for at the Solution Center these days? Fat lot of good it does to refer us to our account manager who only works 8-5 M-F - lets pretend there will never be ANY issues outside those hours! Looks like we'll be losing a lot of clients since when the MTs that know the accounts try to be proactiv ...
For some reason I have recently become very, very uncomfortable at my desk. My right leg is always hurting, falling asleep, or getting a charlie horse as I type. I have a cordless mouse so I can switch hands, but it doesn't seem to matter, as both shoulders hurt from using it. Also, my butt goes numb - LOL. I really enjoy being a transcriptionist, but I cannot handle the discomfort much longer. I have a very good chair and a fairly new desk. Aga ...
I am needing to downsize from a large computer armoire to a smaller workstation. Has anyone found something they are happy with? I find that most of them have too narrow of a keyboard shelf for our larger keyboards plus the mouse. I don't need much - just room for the monitor to set on top and somewhere to put the PC. Also, so many that I look at do not have room underneath them for the foot pedal. Any suggestions? Thanks ...
An interesting job announcement appeared in my email today. It was for a large vascular practice in Tampa, Florida. It would be a good entry job for a new CPC.
You know how some people here insist that no one will hire you without experience? For this one, experience was preferred, but not mandated, and ... even more encouraging ... a CPC was not required, either.

I am tired and frustrated from applying and sending out resumes only to be ignored. It is like a game with them, I think. MedGarde even has an interview which has absolutely nothing to do with your skills or qualifications. In fact it seems like psychological testing to see if you are mentally competent or something like that. I swear I feel like a mouse that is being tested and run through a maze to see how well you perform, but even mice will get the prize or food event ...
I am considering requesting this pay which (depending on the state) considers us to be on-call and must be paid for part of our shift if no work.
I have had it up to here with Nuance and running out of work, adding more and more accounts and STILL no work. Got a second job and STILL being screwed by Nuance in the sense that I cannot rely on my first job (income wise), because when there is enough work they manage to screw my cpl with their lovely FIESA, then as soon as I have no errors the work ...
and it spewed. It only dripped a little bit on the keyboard and I immediately cleaned it up, but obviously a drop or two got down into the shift key and now it is sticking and it is driving me bonkers. It's a new keyboard so I really don't want to have to pop out the key. Any other suggestions? ...
Good morning! I've been a transcriptionist for 18 years and this will be my first question. I just got a a new PC two days ago. However, my foot pedal (which operates fine on my laptop) won't work. I have jobs in my work queu that I can't get to because the pedal won't play them. The computer seemes to recognize the pedal and said it installed drivers but it just doesn't operate even after three reboots. I have Windows 7.
Is this pro ...
Wondering who this company is. Can only find the MT desk that gives info about MT industry and some terminology-not a transcription company. Is anyone familar with this? ...
I'm a former MT who decided I couldn't live "peaceably" with VR (LOL) and left MT a few months ago. I've had some trouble finding a job outside of MT since then, though. I'm willing to branch out, but I suspect that after many, many years of doing MT, some employers aren't willing to take a chance that I'd be happy long-term in a less-challenging job. (The applications I most often get a response from are medical-type jobs.) Maybe they'r ...
I have been waiting since last Thursday to hear back from my supervisor about possibly picking up another account (would be my 5th) or changing my hours so that I wouldn't constantly be OOW. Good thing I didn't hold my breath...tired of constantly being put on the back burner by this company. See what years of dedication gets you? ...
